Just confirming the muscles-are-gross thing.

Lean and in shape is sexiest.

If my choices are between a tubby guy and a guy with bulging, rippling biceps, I'm going with Tubby. Big huge muscles really, really gross me out.

it really all depends on how one defines musclebound. Using the oiled up, juiced up bodybuilders as an example is not a great one, since how many guys in real life do you know that look anything remotely like that?

that's why I talk about the "NFL Player look". Thomas Jones, for e.g.

re musclebound
some people use that term for anyone with any muscles, which I personally find ridiculous but whatever.

The link between working out and self confidence which leads to increased charisma it a link someone already pointed out and one which shouldn't be underestimated. The trick is not to cross the fine line between confidence and arrogance.

just like yesterday I was walking out of my place to go to the gym dressed up in my ready to work out regalia (since I shower and change at home). Three near adjosshi types see me from across the street and they just stop what they're doing and stare - with their jaws significantly lower than the usual distance from their upper lip.

and I'm thinking ... that's right Mod Edit for reference to a plural of female canine you Mod Edit for reference to an act of copulation stare!

then I went off and had a GREAT workout.

p.s. too bad the women don't stare more.

Asian women like the Bruce Lee body, not the Arnold Schwarzenegger body.

I can't believe this thread is still going strong. Here are some facts, some of which I learned from reading women's magazines and others from experience:

1) Women do not care that much what a guy looks like as long as he's not REALLLY OLD, REALLLY fat/ugly/scary. Just normal, average looking, no matter if she's a 9 or 10. Women are not primarily driven by looks, though it is one part of the equation. But it is not the primary focus like men.

** I think exceptions might be: rich, older heiresses

2) Um... men in their 30's? Are you kidding? That is prime time. Only immature girls in college date their own age. After that, women are looking for a) status b) provider potential. A guy in his 30s or 40s has both. The bigger the age difference the more the perceived status. As long as he meets the #1 requirement (not totally disgusting), they're game.

3) Women eventually decide whether they are going to sleep with you based on something you can't buy off the internet, acquire or see. They are attracted to metaphysical, NOT the physical. In other words, personality. I repeat that mantra every day. It helps me figure out why the hottest, most desirable women are with average looking guys. #2 (status/provider) + the metaphysical = she wants your body.

4) Age barriers in Korea only applies to women. Men can behave however they want as long as they have status and provider potential.

Korean women only care about status and provider ability, not looks at all. They actually shun good looking guys as "playboys".

Does anyone know who Han Chae Young is? She married an average, but well off guy from a good family (status) who had a good job (provider) but was by no means a super Korean stud (i.e. Byung Hun Lee or Jung Woo Sung). Same with Lee Young Ae. Just got hitched to an K-American (status). (http://popseoul.com/2009/08/27/lee-young-ae-gets-hitched/)
